New theory of femtosecond induced changes and nanopore formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recent results confirm the presence of molecular oxygen proving that recombination of dissociated silica bonds does not occur. This combined with the observation of nanopores within the nanograting structure in silica, leads to a new interpretation of ...

Beyond Imperfect Match: Silicon/Graphite Hybrid Anodes for High‐Energy–Density Lithium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon/graphite (Si/Gr) hybrid anodes are limited by Si's large volume change and mismatch with Gr. This review offers mechanistic insights into imperfectly matched Si/Gr hybrid anodes, elucidating heterogeneous lithiation behavior and interfacial failure pathways, and thereby informing the design of durable, high‐energy–density lithium‐ion batteries.

Novel technique for measuring dispersion and detuning of a UV written silica-on-silicon waveguide

open access: yes, 2010
We shall present a new method of measuring the dispersive properties of UV written waveguides in the silica-on-silicon platform used to fabricate planar Bragg gratings.

High-speed interferometric FBG interrogator with dynamic and absolute wavelength measurement capability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A passive, interferometric wavelength demodulation technique has been extended to measure the absolute wavelengths of a multiplexed array of fiber Bragg grating sensors. The scheme retains its original strain resolution of 10 nε/√{Hz}. A proof-of-concept

The Future of Hydrogen‐Powered Aviation: Technologies, Challenges, and a Strategic Roadmap for Sustainable Decarbonization

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Hydrogen‐powered aviation offers a transformative pathway to zero‐emission flight by eliminating in‐flight CO2 emissions. Key considerations include propulsion systems (fuel cells and hydrogen combustion), cryogenic storage and insulation challenges, infrastructure and cost barriers, and supply‐chain constraints.

Intrinsic, multiplexable sensors for electric field strength using structural slow light in phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper we demonstrate through simulation the potential for phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings incorporating structural slow light to enable intrinsic reflection-mode point sensors for electric field or voltage.

Mixed‐Phase TiO2 Nanotubes Enhance Ru Nanoparticle Activity for Hydrogen Evolution in pH‐Neutral Electrolytes

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Efficient water electrolysis in NaBr electrolyte is achieved using TiO2 nanotube supports decorated with Ru nanoparticles. A cooperative “job‐sharing” effect between the TiO2 proton‐storage support that provides protons to the Ru catalyst enhances hydrogen evolution, minimizes Ru demand and polarization losses, and delivers stable performance ...

System-performance analysis of optimized gain-switched pulse source employed in 40-and 80-Gb/s OTDM systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The development of ultrashort optical pulse sources, exhibiting excellent temporal and spectral profiles, will play a crucial role in the performance of future optical time division multiplexed (OTDM) systems. In this paper, we demonstrate the difference

Super-step-chirped fibre Bragg gratings

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 1996
Concatenation of apodised gratings to form a super-step-chirped fibre Bragg grating structure is demonstrated for the first time. Using this scheme, gratings of arbitrary lengths may be constructed for a predetermined wavelength span.
